I've done this many times (drooling at some APS camera's MRC options).
I'd add to your list:
1a) immediatedly stop rewinding as soon as you hear and feel the film
is getting loose from the sprocket. Thus there always will be a film
tip outside the cassette and you don't need this pulling device.
3a) make sure you always use the same technique for loading the film,
and always take one extra blank shot. This will prevent any double
exposures.
